        :-) one systematic approach to this might be to try to unwind which
complex[1] headers are most included and see if, in fact, with some more
strategic forward definitions we can avoid that.

        For the gnumake world the workdir/*/*.d files have all those deps that
can easily be sedded / sorted / uniq -c'd / sorted etc. into a list of
the top includes.

        That of course has the benefit of creating a long-term speedup for all
of us that won't involve custom tweaking the system. IIRC there was some
easy hack related to that too.

        ATB,

                Michael.

[1] - where complex is presumably defined by 'slow to parse' (perhaps we
could time a compile of include <that-header.hxx> in a .cxx)
